Britain called for a reconsideration of the approach to Ukraine following Putin’s statement

MOSCOW, September 25 — RIA Novosti. Great Britain should not incite a conflict in Ukraine, but should strive for peace, writes Peter Hitchens for the Daily Mail.

«What is the UK’s interest in Ukraine? Why are we sending weapons and equipment to this country, even though our national budget is stretched to the limit and our armed forces have been lacking money, people and equipment for many years?

According to the author, the conflict in Ukraine has already brought the world closer to a real nuclear war.

«The current policy of militant and even military support for Ukraine is very old and controversial,» Hitchens said.

The journalist believes that it would be extremely foolish to reject Putin’s words about the use of nuclear weapons as a bluff.

«I would just like to call on us as a nation and nation to start discussing it in an adult way, and not to consider the current politics as the only right or patriotic» — concluded the article.
